Holosun Solar Failsafe

City of Industry, CA – Raising the bar once again, Holosun is pleased to introduce one of its newest innovations, Solar Failsafe. This technology utilizes ambient light to keep weapon sights running in the event the batteries fail. Whether using natural or artificial light, models equipped with this feature keep users in the fight or in the field until the job is done.

While all Holosun optics boast an impressive 50,000-hour battery life, all batteries eventually fail. Ensuring that their optics won’t fail at a critical moment, when the shot matters most, optics equipped with Solar Failsafe use the power of ambient lighting to stay powered on until the user can safely stop to replace their batteries. Because Solar Failsafe uses light from the environment to keep the reticle powered on the brightness of the reticle changes with the amount of light available, so users can be assured their optic will always be as bright, or as dim, as the situation demands.

Users can have peace of mind knowing that their weapon sight is always ready and always on for any application. Whether it’s a hunter who can’t miss their one shot, a soldier or officer who can’t put combat on hold to change batteries, or the average citizen preparing for a situation where batteries may become scarce, Solar Failsafe has their backs. There’s already enough to think about when working with a firearm, optics’ batteries shouldn’t be among them.

Several Holosun weapon sights are equipped with the optional Solar Failsafe technology and can be found in the company catalog. They also may feature other innovative technologies designed to extend battery life such as the Multiple Reticle System, Super Green L.E.D., and Shake Awake. Models featuring Solar Failsafe are on sale today and can be purchased through authorized Holosun retailers.

    2.5 years into one on a gun that I taught with at work and I’m still impressed and still on the first battery.

    I’d like to see their website but the splash page requiring me to install plugins/addons is a big no-go.

    • Whiskey2Sierra says:

      Agree. Eff that. Product sounds great, but I guess I’ll never know from their jacked up website.

    • Jack Griffin says:

      Numerous retailers have all the photos, specs and reviews you could want.

      Primary Arms, Amazon, etc.

      • Whiskey2Sierra says:

        Cool. Tango

        (Still gotta say bad move on the manufacturer’s website.)

      • One C Three says:

        Shouldn’t have to depend on third party vendors to see a companies line up.

        I can go to Optics Planet for anything, but I still check out Vortex, Crye, Mystery Ranch, etc, website’s. I want to not only see their current production line, but what is in development and pending release. The manufactures website should* have more detailed information than what you’re going to find on Amazon. Most producers spend a big chunk of cash to actually inform their potential customers on their ethos, history of design, what makes them and the item their selling unique.

        Whether you are sending $100 dollars or $3k, you should be able to easily see the manufactures website. The fact that they want you to install anything just to see their site tells me enough.

          What, you don’t trust installing software from a Chinese company with government ties?

          But on a serious note, I’ve never had to install software to see their website. What is it asking to install?

    • P. T. McCain says:

      Totally agree…I’ve never had to “install” a bunch of junk on my computer to be able to learn more about a manufacturer’s products, etc. It just further reinforces a negative vibe I’ve always had about Holosun products. I know everyone loves them because they are cheap, but I just can’t shake a “wave off” feeling about the stuff.

  3. Mike says:

    Where‘s the innovation to justify such a press-release?

    The german army‘s version of the G36 had this feature from day one, since like more than 20 years ago.

  4. Bradkaf308 says:

    Trying my best to not send money to that country.

  5. Stickman says:

    Holosun is making some pretty big strides towards becoming a legit optic company. Like them or not, its the product which speaks for itself.
